What is a Community School?


A community school is more than just a place where students go to learn. It is a hub of resources and support that serves not only the academic needs of students but also their social, emotional, and physical well-being. Community schools are designed to integrate a wide range of services and supports, including health and social services, to ensure that every student is equipped to succeed. The goal is to create a school environment that is collaborative, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of the community it serves.
